Causalufio? - Listed as last residence in ship's manifest

[bnelson]

Can anyone help me identify the town of last residence listed on line 22 of the following ship's manifest?

https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B7gLZR ... y=CJnN5a8L

The handwriting isn't too difficult, but I'm not sure I am reading it correctly since I've never heard of the town and googleing all spelling variations is coming up empty. To me it looks like "Causalufio", but maybe I am reading it incorrectly? As far as I know, my ancestor lived in Siano, but may have moved to a new town, which would be an important clue for my further research.

Thanks!

The town looks like "Cantalupo"

There are four possibilities... however, none are in Campania

# Cantalupa, province: Torino - region: Piedmont
# Cantalupo in Sabina, province: Rieti - region: Lazio
# Cantalupo Ligure, province: Alessandria - region: Piedmont
# Cantalupo nel Sannio, province: Isernia - region: Molise

Best guess would be Cantalupo nel Sannio, which is the closest to Campania Region of those listed above...

If you decide to write to the comune to request a search of records...

You might want to try this site to see what surnames exist in the Campania Region today...

http://italia.indettaglio.it/eng/cognom ... pania.html

Put in "Caiazz" (without the last letter) and choose "Begins with"...this will produce a list of towns in Campania where the name exists... Siano is one of them, but maybe another will look familiar or resemble the town on the manifest

After looking at some other occurrences of the letters n, t, and p elsewhere on the page, I believe you are correct with the name Cantalupo. Thanks you very much for the help and suggestions!
